How to participate
Students, parents, teachers and members offering expertise can first explore and enquire. Rotary membership is not required to ask a question.

Obtain the current official information, then follow the organiser's nomination, selection or application process.
Frequently asked questions
Can I apply for all four programmes on this website?
Not necessarily. This area provides information and enquiries; application links are provided only when a verified process is open. The club anniversary form is not a youth programme application.
Is RYE the same as an overseas club visit?
No. Student exchange involves selection, education, hosting and safeguarding. Club visits, conventions and friendship exchanges are different activities.
Does a past date prove an activity was completed?
No. Activity dates, publication dates and confirmed outcomes are distinguished. Unverified outcomes are not counted as completed results.
Who handles offers of volunteering, mentoring or resources?
Contact Yunling with the programme and help you can offer. The relevant team will confirm needs; participants and host families must still follow the organiser's procedures.
